To be honest, Lin Shu did not really like children. When this child was obedient, she would happily tease him, but if the children started a ruckus, she was afraid that she would not have patience.
But her and Lu Jingran's child... She was looking forward to it.
Thinking about it, she could not hold back her laughter anymore, and started talking while hugging Lu Jingran's waist, "I actually think it's good that our first child is our daughter, since they say that our daughter is our parents' close relative, if our first child is our son, at that time, we might not even be able to take care of him, how can we expect him to take care of our younger brother and sister? The first one we should give birth to is our own daughter! "
These words sounded as if they could decide whether the first child was their son or their daughter!
Now that Lu Jingran answered vaguely, in the end he could not help but lift the quilt, "I, I'll go sleep on the kang!"
"What happened to you?" Lin Shu felt that Lu Jingran was a little strange.
Lu Jingran rubbed his nose, "I, I... You have to go back tomorrow! We need to rest early! "
However, he had forgotten that he had just passed the ninetieth day.
Only then did Lin Shu realize that maybe she had talked too much, spending the entire day in the inner courtyard doing nothing, but Lu Jingran still left early and returned late, "Then let's not talk, let's just go to sleep early!"
Lu Jingran felt that he had not been able to speak out his bitterness, nor did he know how he had endured all those years. Now that he had just tasted the sweetness, the little girl was right in front of him, making him to restrain himself. It was really difficult!
He could not help but recall that night when Lin Shu looked that charming appearance of hers. Her entire body was smooth and tender.
His gaze couldn't help but fall on her slightly opened small clothes, and he could vaguely see a bit of enchantment within them … She only felt her body getting hotter and hotter.
Lin Shu stared at him with innocent big eyes. "Didn't you say to go to bed early? "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Lu Jingran had no other choice but to lie down again, and didn't forget to say: "You … Stay away from me! I, I feel a little hot! "
Lin Shu did not think much into it, she had sensed that Lu Jingran's body seemed to be warmer than before, so she did as she was told and moved him inside.
She was also very ambitious and soon fell asleep in a daze.
Lu Jingran looked at her pretty face that was buried in the soft pillow. His hair that was as black as ink was scattered to the side, looking as beautiful as a painting.
He could not help but go forward and kiss Lin Shu's forehead, and silently cursed, "This little girl is really heartless!
Early in the morning on the second day, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion County Prince came over to bring Lin Shu back home. Even if Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion did not like Lin Shu, but since Lin Shu was the direct granddaughter of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion after all, she had to adopt an attitude of attitude.
Furthermore, the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion County Prince Lin Cheng was Lin Hui's direct brother, if Lin Cheng didn't dare to come today, it would be unjustifiable for Lin Hui.
Fortunately, the Old Ancestor had already prepared several large boxes of all kinds of candies for them. Four Beijing Fruits, a handful of peaches and three bottles of wine that he had bought at a great price from the south, as well as a whole carriage present for them.
Because they were all family, Lin Shu grew up with her cousin, so the three of them did not restrain themselves and sat in a carriage.
During this period of time, they were naturally having a great time together.
After all, the Old Ancestor had prepared far too many gifts for Lin Shu and the others to return, so the three of them sat in the carriage from the National Duke Ning Palace and came back first.
Waiting for Lin Shu and Lu Jingran to go to the Green Pine Academy to pay respects to the Grand Madam, but this person had not even arrived yet.
Lin Shu and Lu Jingran then went straight to the side chamber. After a whole winter, Grand Madam's expression had become even darker, as if he was an old lady in his seventies or eighties. Even when Lu Jingran and Lin Shu came in, they were only able to recover after a long while, and they responded with a nod.
Last winter, Grand Madam was sick again, and even the imperial physician came a few times to see him, only saying that Grand Madam is old and his body is not as fit as it used to be, please take care of him! "
The imperial physicians looked at him several times, and even the famous doctors of the capital had come over and over again. Everyone's narration was the same, the Grand Madam could only last for three years at most.
However, the He’s Mansion in his heart was a mess. How could Grand Madam not be worried? Even though he had the First Madam's butler, the First Madam was useless. There were many things that required the Grand Madam to decide!
Lu Jingran nodded his head, "Mother is joking. Even when I am old, I am already like this, and our ancestor is the same. When the weather is warm, my body will gradually recover."
Amongst them, everyone knew that this was just to comfort the Grand Madam. Even though the ancestor's hair was white, and he looked to be much older than the Grand Madam, his spirit was still very good. When he was free, he would practice the Five Birds Fist, and he would even walk two rounds around the Rongshou Hall.
But Grand Madam, although he spoke up after his stroke, most of the time he was lying on the bed, even when he got out of the bed he was sitting on a wheelchair. In truth, it was not that she couldn't walk, he just needed to use a walking stick, but Grand Madam walked two roads and already said that he felt flustered and out of breath. The imperial physician and the others also advised her not to ask about it, but she would actually get angry, and after a long time, no one tried to persuade her anymore.
Grand Madam nodded and forced out a smile. He did not know that the smile on her face was uglier than crying, "If I remember correctly, you should be called Jing Ran right? Speaking of which, it's also my fault, my Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and National Duke Ning Palace aren't that far apart, but I actually didn't see you even once! "
When she said this, everyone was slightly stunned.
Not to mention when Lu Jingran was young, she had also seen him a few times. Not long ago, when she had suffered a stroke, the patriarch of the National Duke Ning Palace had even brought Lu Jingran to visit her once.
Lu Jingran and Lin Shu looked at each other, neither of them saying a word.
It was still Lin Shu who laughed and said, "Grandmother, didn't you see it today? "Why don't you take this opportunity to take a good look!"
Because she and Lu Jingran had arrived relatively early, no one had expected them to come so early. Just now, before she came to the Green Pine Academy, she had hurriedly sent Yun Dou over to the Fanghua Garden to tell her mother.
After waiting for them to say a few words, Madam Lian rushed over. Upon seeing Lin Shu's eyes, she could not help but turn red.
Lin Shu had never left her side since she was young and now that Lin Shu had only been married for three days, she felt like it had been three years!
When Lin Shu saw his mother again, she felt her heart aching. Looking at the patch of purple beneath his mother's eyelids, she realized that she probably had not slept well for the past few days, "Mother, why have you come so quickly? I thought I'd have to wait a bit! "
The journey from Fanghua Garden to Green Pine Academy was not too close, but her mother had only used the time of half a cup of tea, what else could she be if not rushed over?
Madam Lian's mouth moved, but she did not say anything, she only carefully sized up Lin Shu. It had only been three days since they last met, and her daughter did not seem to have any changes compared to before. Originally, she thought that she would see the girl's haggard look, or unhappy expression, but now, it seemed that this little girl's face was filled with joy and happiness!
One person's life was good, but it could be seen from the expression on her face.
Madam Lian only felt that her worries for the past few days were finally relieved, and she took a few steps forward.
Lu Jingran called out, "Mother."
Only now did Madam Lian's gaze fall on Lu Jingran's face. Although she had met Lu Jingran once before when Lin Shu was getting married, he did not have the time to properly size him up, and now that she had looked at him carefully, he felt that he looked really good. Her eyebrows were like swords, and her eyes were bright and spirited.
The more this mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. She was so overjoyed that she didn't know what to say.
Lin Shu could tell that something was wrong with the Madam Lian. She held onto the Madam Lian's hand and said: "Mother, before the First Aunt and the others come over, let's go talk at the front! "You don't know, I've missed you these past few days."
After all, the First Madam and the Second Madam were going to come over.
Now that the Grand Madam was confused, but the Nanny Chen was not confused. Seeing that Lin Shu and Lu Jingran had come earlier, he hurriedly sent people to invite the few masters in the house over, this time the guests were all his relatives' uncles or brothers.
Because the Green Pine Academy was very close to the outer courtyard, all of the elders with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had arrived. Only Lin Pei and Marquis Xin had not arrived yet.
Madam Lian also had a stomach full of words to say to his daughter. She grabbed her hand and walked out, but just as they stepped out of the side chamber room, he couldn't help but say: "… A few days ago, before Sis Hui'er returned to the Huaiyin Palace, she specifically told me that she would be back for a few days when you returned back home. There's also your big sister, Second Sister and the others, I'm afraid they will all be back soon. "
This girl's returning home was a huge matter!
The corner of Lin Shu's mouth raised slightly, and only said it well, "You don't know how good the culinary arts of this Banyan Garden kitchen are, but every time I see those delicious dishes, I would think of inviting the third sister over in a few days, to have a taste for it. I'm afraid that after she tasted the culinary arts of Banyan Garden kitchen, she would not be able to leave …."
She continued on and on for a long time, saying that Lu Jingran had arranged a small study room for her within the Banyan Garden, saying that the Old Ancestor had specially arranged for a maid to serve her from his side … In the end, it was just happy words. His face was full of happiness.
This was not an act, he had been living a good life in the National Duke Ning Palace these past few days, and there was not the slightest bit of unhappiness!
